the lowest level since 1979 when jimmy carter was president. even president obama's former economic adviser saying, this is a punch to the gatt. stocks plunged as a result. although they ended up recovering more than half there earlier losses, the dow did end the session off 41 points. the s&p finished down seven and the nasdaq down 21. analysts saying the cell in may and go away strategy is starting, just a little early. we will be talking about the jobs report and market direction , the senior u.s. economist with deutsche bank securities. also, north korea telling foreign embassy staff to consider leaving as tensions flare. joining us on that, our party's national security analyst k t. mcfarland and john bolton. and disturbing news showing a surge in illegal immigrant border traffic.

heather macdonald from the manhattan institute this year, and she will discuss the impact of that on the congressional effort, as you know, to pass immigration reform. details o the president's budget proposals also out today with both the left and right crying foul. the president's plan plans to reduce the deficit by almost 2 trillion through a balanced approach to spending cuts, intel now reform, and, of course, raising taxes on the wealthy. th details, the very same day the congrsional budget office announced that the current deficit for the first half of the fiscal year came in at $601 billion. the president's budget will be released on wednesday. fox news chief white house correspondent ed henry has more in this report. >> president obama has finally brought all sides together over a budget. the left apoplectic over cuts and the right furious about more tax increases. even his own aides suggest he is not sure about the plan.

>> not what he would do if he were king or only people who supported his proposal or in congress. it is what he believes is a fair and balanced approach to a deficit challenge. >> the new budget is built around the president's final offer a republican speaker walked away from in the fiscal cliff talks. though he quickly noted today, in the end of the president got his tax hikes on the wealthy with no corresponding spending cuts. at some point we need to solve our spending problem. what the president has offered would leave us with a budget that never balances. another problem, rising a position on the left over chased cpi which is cutting social security and other federal programs by adopting a republican plan to slo increases in benefit payments by changing how inflation is calculated. >> it protects our seniors. it does not go the republican route of eviscerating social programs and voucher rising medicare. >> except independent senator

bernie sanders, a socialist from vermont sharply disagrees, declaring millions of working people, seniors, disabled veterans, those who have lost a loved one in combat and women will be extremely disappointed in president obama caves into the long standing republican effort to cut social security and benefits for disabled veterans and their survivors through a so-called changed cpi and even the president himself agreed with that criticism during the 2008 campaign when he slammed republican john mccain. >> that mccain and -- the mccain campaign has gone further suggesting the best answer for the growing pressures on social security might be to cut cost-of-living adjustments or raise the retirement age. let me be clear, i will not do either. >> well the president is not proposing a hike to the eligibility age, he does want to cut the cost of living adjustment. it will also affect how tax bracke are adjusted, so some middle-class people will see there taxes go up and he could cut disability benefits for

veterans up to $3,000 per year, even as the administration claims it will increase other benefits by 4%, of the president's aides say he is convinced he could bring along democrats if republicans gave over taxes. >> of the republicans are willing to move off of their position, at least the ones that the leaders have staked out, the wealthy should not pay another dime, the president is coinced that he can lead democrats to a compromise solution. >> republicans charging tonight that that simply does not add up in part because the president wants to do away with a sequester which has over 1 trillion to the deficit. the white house counters that they have just under 2 trillion in new deficit cuts between spending cuts and new tax hikes that we will seek details of until next wednesday. lori: ed henry, fox news chief white house correspondent. turning to the latest on the number three nuclear crisis. today, they warned nations with embassies in the capitol city of p'yongyang to evacuate there

staff by april 10th. that is when the kingdom says it cannot guarantee the safety of war breaks out. this is the latest intelligence which indicate mockery has moved to medium-range missiles to its east coast. >> we have obviously seen the reports that north korea may be making preparations to launch a missile and we are monitoring this situation closely. we would not be surprised to see them take such an action. we have seen them launched missiles in the past. the united nations security council has repeatedly condemned them. lori: joining me now to discuss this tense situation in the asia-pacific region, fox is national security analyst k. t. mcfarland and john bolton, former u.s. ambassador to the united nations. north korea acting like a petulant child, what is the real threat of them actually launching a missile? >> they act like a petulant child every year in do the same thing where they say, if you don't give us what we what we will have another crisis.

the difference is this year they have nuclear weapons. lori: your reaction, how serious of a threat are we looking at? >> i do not think it is likely that north korea will attack anybody, but it is here that they're getting ready to launch one of these mobile missiles as a demonstration of a capability, both in range and accuracy. the risk is,hey could, to show that they have this capability, and for a point in the pacific ocean 50 miles north of our bases on guam. because no one will vouch for the accuracy of their ballistic missile guidance systems, it could hit guam. that is why we are concerned. that is why south korea is concerned. we should be concerned any time this regime, which is not rational by our terms acts in this way. lori: what is the proper u.s. response? >> sure it down. what they will do issue of the missile. lori: what do you think the

credibility is? >> we don't know, but i think that tir missiles have the ability to reach alaska, hawaii, guam. now, if they don't yet have the ability to reach the continental united states, they will. is just a matter of time, but it is important to step back and say where are we. we have been saying for years, the bush administration, obama administration, north korea, you cannot get nuclear weapons. guess what, they have them. guess who is watching, it is the iranians, and they have to assume that if they cannot stop it from getting their weapons, what will stop them? lori: it is the message. we know the u.s. has sent billions of dollars in aid to north korea. they say this is all in an attempt to a feed their citizens. what is the end game? hawkins. >> recognized as a nuclear weapon state. it would imply acceptance into

the international community, much the same way after telling indian pakistan for years don't test their weapons. they did. there were sanctions. there were lifted, and we now accept the mess with their weapons. that is what the objective is which is why the notion that you can initiate and their is a wet let them climb down, it's very misguided. signs of our weakness are indecisive and simply play into their strategy. lori: brand new secretary of state, brand new. a lot of new players. and we know that the president had to deal. so what happened? was there no transition in terms of understanding what our relationship between the north koreans and america is? you know what i'm getting at. >> and you make a really good point that i think is worth emphasizing. new leaders in all these countries. trying to show the world that he

is just as tough as dad was, just as tough. the new south korean president that has been in less than a month. the japanese leaders. the chinese leaders, also considered to be quite hoggish. the likelihood that one of these new players get something just a little warm that is why we are on a hair trigger. it is not the odds i worry about. it is the station. i think it is the sake. lori: we talk about a geopolitical threat. china is the real deal. this could almost present an entree for the u.s. and china to mend some of these issues. >> maybe, maybe not. former australian prime minister yesterday said the chinese are making a lot of signals that they want to have a renewed

strategic relationship with the united states. maybe that is bluster or maybe there is something to it. it is certain is something worth pursuing. at the same time, they want a new situation. whenever we do in northeast asia with regard to japan, south korea, north korea, china, we want to get this right because next spring it is only going to be worse. lori: secretary of state headed to north korea. your thoughts on how effective that will be in your last word on the subject. >> i think he has already indicated that he has to try and find some diplomatic way to allow north korea to climb down without losing face. in his the right thing that is a very misguided way to approach this. this confirms to the notorious. we have no real strategy. in that thing that is the signal not simply to north korea, but

do a lot of other would-be nuclear weapon states. lori: and there we are. thank you. much more later in our broadcast. shrinking. you will not believe what the band now. more jobs numbers caused the market stumble. his assessment of the obama economy.

said, let's hold off on that hiring plan until possibly april. lori: one thing that did happen that is the true fundamental is the payroll tax increase. people feeling that already. this did lead to a cutback in jobs. >> without a doubt to my tax increase is a break in the economy. it was depressing hiring. would have seen more evidence of that in january into february, so i think some of the concern of the sequestration that led to this boss. we will have to watch the near term dated to see if things turn around. in early gates could be next week's preliminary reading of consumer sentiment which will be out of friday. also, weekly unemployment claims filings have been all over the map backing up sharply of the past two weeks. that may start to head lower and will be an important signal that this is just a captain at the beginning. lori: you are now ready to say

that we are one bad month. the white house released its budget, including tax hikes and medicare cuts. how would the economy digest that if there is no question of whether or not these tax hikes and the payroll taxes are influencing business decisions on hiring? >> i think we are going to see that in the second quarter. the problem is, this budget comes out next week. it is really dead on arrival. that brings up the concern of the debt ceiling, something we have not thought about in a while. pushed back to may of this year, but really weekend will our way through. a ratings downgrade and the economy slowing, so if this budget is really a nonstarter, and it looks like it is back to the drawing board with no compromise in sight we could be facing another late summer slowdown and the economy certainly does not mean that. lori: we have to go, but i am wondering if this is finally

terminated that this proposal which continues to see from the white house whether they want revenue increases, we are seeing how it is such a crimp on economic growth. >> i certainly hope that is not the case. data it will be telling. the one ray of hope is consumer spending is holding up. retail sales. lori: the good old american consumer. always a pleasure. coming up, newly unsealed court documents shedding light on the run-up to the our shooting.

does that get her any more leeway in terms of avoiding the death penalty? >> if she testified better it may. if she said because of the repeated abuse i was a battered woman, therefore she suffers from better woman syndrome. this guy coming after scared her more than the average person and therefore she acted the way she did and should not get the death penalty, yes, but she did not really testify to that. she said now was not afraid at some point. lori: let's move on because i think you are just exhausted. let me give you to address. more and more depressing. such a tragedy, especially now that we are learning that the psychiatrist was evaluating him had warned colorado campus police that he was a threat. skidmore have been bad? what will happen with this information? >> there will be some finger-pointing because authorities were notified which under the duty of the psychiatrist, if they are told that someone is going to harm
